Hi
I asked a question last week-Fri Sept 25, I think- concerning non-functioning ABS and wof.
I would appreciate knowing when and how I might receive your reply?
Thank you

Hi Tony,
We responded to your question on Monday the 28th when we were back in the office. It is as below.
Yes an ABS braking system warning light illuminated will fail a WoF. You are also unable to disconnect the system without obtaining a LVV specialist certification (which starts @ around $700).
From a WoF point of view, if the vehicle was manufactured with a safety system, then it must work as in tended. You can find the WoF rules on the system here: https://vehicleinspection.nzta.govt.nz/virms/in-service-wof-and-cof/general/brakes/service-brake-and-parking-brake
